From Studio City plea success a secession door uh dim
room deep with them the bowels of the Armstrong and
Getty Communications compound to.

Speaker 2 (01:09):
Kick off a brand new week Here we are.

Speaker 3 (01:11):
Under the tute ledge of our general manager.

Speaker 4 (01:14):
Yeah, yeah, march madness.

Speaker 2 (01:18):
A lot of great games over the weekend could go
with that. Huh oh my god.

Speaker 5 (01:22):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (01:22):
Saint Louis State got.

Speaker 3 (01:24):
Knocked off by the California University of Fresno and a
double nicle at the buzzer. You don't see that? Yes,
that broke my bracket. Hey, how y'all doing? Man, I
don't know where you all live, uh, because we're on
all over the country. But it was the greatest weather
of the year yesterday here, so we are out riding

(01:44):
bikes and playing tennis and running around.

Speaker 2 (01:47):
It was so nice. Oh.

Speaker 3 (01:48):
I got spring fever just deep into my bones. I
want to spring sprung.

Speaker 2 (01:53):
You go go. I want to reproduce.

Speaker 4 (01:55):
Please do your part for America's falling birth rates. That
needs to be our new call. That needs to be
our big you know, Archie Hod get together, get pregnant.

Speaker 2 (02:08):
With the two gits. It's just off the top of
my head. I shouldn't.

Speaker 3 (02:13):
You got to be in a committed relationship, though, you
can't just be popping out kids like your Elon Musk.

Speaker 4 (02:18):
I think that's assumed, at least in my world. That is,
perhaps we should clarify that in our by laws. Okay,
I assume we're going to have bylaws in a mission statement,
a lavish entertainment budget.

Speaker 3 (02:30):
Yeah, so welcome to basically the last week of March.
And I just so I've got this fresh in my
head because I watched it when I got up this morning.
I hadn't seen sixty Minutes last night till this morning.
Did you see the stuff on the Canadian border? Good
on sixty minutes? You know, I complaints about that show,
but there they are highlighting the number of illegals and

(02:53):
the amount of fentanyl it's been coming across the Canadian border,
and how easy it is right now, and how the
Mexican Sineloa Martel is running the whole thing in Canada.

Speaker 4 (03:04):
Good lord, I gave up on sixty Minutes a week
too early. That is remarkable for its obvious, you know,
reinforcement of various MAGA claims.

Speaker 3 (03:13):
Oh yeah, I had to be. They had to get
tremendous pushback from a.

Speaker 2 (03:16):
Lot of the viewers. How dare you say this?

Speaker 3 (03:21):
It's it's obviously smaller numbers of people in smaller amounts
of fentanyl compared to Canada.

Speaker 2 (03:26):
But that's kind of a ridiculous thing in Mexico.

Speaker 3 (03:29):
Yeah, uh huh, yeah, compared to Mexico. It's kind of
a ridiculous measuring stick, since that's the most porous, dangerous
border between any two real countries on planet Earth.

Speaker 4 (03:41):
Well, if I got one neighbor on each side, one
squeezes off ten shots a day at me, the other
one squeezes off two shots a day. I'm still kind
of pissed off at two shots a day, guy, and
I probably ought a color reeltor.

Speaker 2 (03:51):
But if you if you see my point, Wow, didn't
you like look around before you bought the house at all? Honey?

Speaker 4 (03:58):
This neighborhood, I mean, great school, but it's way shootier
than we thought.

Speaker 3 (04:05):
But so it was interesting. In sixty minute Hilight highlighted this.
They have ads on Facebook and TikTok and all these
different places, and they showed some of the ads in
various languages for around the world of with music in
the background. I mean, it's like a produced sales piece
from the cartel on want to go to America, and
they show some you know, nice woman from India who

(04:28):
so they took me across in two days and now
I live in America. And then they would show some
other people and then contact us today for your trip to.

Speaker 2 (04:36):
The United States. Wow.

Speaker 4 (04:38):
And what was it two years ago that you could
get banned from Facebook for or you know whatever social
media platform for saying, you know, I think the Wuhan
virus might have come from that wu On virus lab.
Right now, you can be the Sinaloa cartel, you know
it with beautiful ads like you're Describingtok TikTok, happy, happy
customers who made their way across. Of course, sixty minutes

(05:00):
highlighted a bunch of people who didn't make it across
as they froze.

Speaker 2 (05:02):
That's one thing that doesn't happen across in Mexico.

Speaker 3 (05:05):
Up in Canada during the winter time, it's a little cold,
so you're wandering out. You're wandering around out in the
woods with the cell phone and the cartel is watching
your location and say no, no, no, no, no, take
a left there, cross the creek over there, dah, like
they went.

Speaker 2 (05:19):
Their wrong direction and then they're found frozen to death.

Speaker 4 (05:22):
Right right, You know, TikTok could work on a new slogan.
If you're looking for a Chinese communist finance way to
for your cartel to reach American kids, TikTok is the way, right,
good lord?

Speaker 3 (05:36):
Yeah, you know this is a media thing, But I'm
sixty minutes deciding to have the first feature story about how, yeah,
the Mexican cartels are involved in Canada and the numbers
of skyrocketed of people in drugs coming across. That's that's

(05:59):
an interesting editorial choice.

Speaker 4 (06:01):
By sixty minutes, I would agree completely, And I don't
think it's two inside baseball. I think everybody's kind of aware,
not kind of everybody's aware these days that there is
wild and shameless bias in the media and folks are
choosing which media they are going to continue to consume.
Sixty minutes clearly, to me, I was so disgusted with them,

(06:24):
having watched them for years and years because I like
long form journalism. I mean, I can certainly identify bias
when I see it, but often it's it's good and
it's interesting and it's revealing. It's a great excuse to
dig further into a story anyway. But I was so
disgusted and pissed off with their utter, just shameless bias.
At sixty minutes, I said, you know what, I'm done

(06:44):
with you, goodbye. And I'm sure my sentiment was echoed
by many, many millions of Americans. And I'll bet sixty
minutes got wind of it. You think they're going to
write them an email? I don't care that much.

Speaker 2 (06:56):
You think.

Speaker 4 (06:56):
I'll bet they got a hell of a lot of blowback.
You think they felt like they went too far. It's
a hell of a coincidence. It is all of a
sudden they have a persuasively uh in the facts, not
in the bias, but in the fact MAGA friendly story,
very mega friendly stories, especially especially the timing right leading

(07:17):
the show. Come on, I don't I seriously don't think
that's a coincidence.

Speaker 3 (07:21):
Yeah, And wasn't that last week that they had the
ridiculous here's all the downtrodden government workers that Doge has ruined.

Speaker 4 (07:31):
Their lives right, Yeah, it was a handful of weeks
in a row. I don't have a great memory for
the stories that had annoyed Holman, give them, but Holman
adel presenting the entire uh, you know, trying to get
legals out of here as a one sided story. Was
that Was it the same story that you just referred
to or was it a couple of weeks ago that
they did the public employee unions? Right, one of the

(07:51):
greatest forces for good in America rest stories. I was like,
are you I couldn't grab my remote control fast enough.

Speaker 3 (08:00):
But so they have this, well, we'll play some clips
of it, but it's it's a cartel member and for
whatever reason. Now, like if if this was a story
the other direction, people like me saying saying, I don't
know if I believe this sixty minutes, I think you're
going out of your way. But they had a cartel
member that for whatever reason, decided to talk to sixty minutes,

(08:21):
and they have him, you.

Speaker 2 (08:22):
Know, in a mask and blacked out.

Speaker 3 (08:25):
You can't really see him, and they adjust his voice
do one of those things talking about, oh yeah, we
bring people across the Grenadian border all the time.

Speaker 2 (08:33):
It'd be very easy to claim that they made that up.

Speaker 6 (08:37):
Oh season, or I really admire a Senor Scott Kelly
Pelly with the how you repeat every question?

Speaker 3 (08:45):
Very good compelling. That's why I'm on today. Thank you
for having me. But anyway, he's talking about.

Speaker 2 (08:49):
How I really like Scott Pelly. Yes, as I said,
I really like Scott Pelly.

Speaker 6 (08:57):
Why did you say it again? I mean I stated
it really clearly the first time. Why you ask again, senior?
Why do I ask a kid?

Speaker 3 (09:09):
But sixty minutes actually asked the guy who said so,
how much fetanyl do you bring across? And he said,
he said how many kiloads whatever? In the sixty minutes
reporter said, wow, I mean it was it was like
it was designed to.

Speaker 2 (09:24):
We're not always biased toward the left. I mean, I
don't know if that was. Can't be a coincidence, cannot be.

Speaker 3 (09:31):
Yeah, anyway, we'll play some clips about that, and yeah,
stuff is coming across the Canadian border. I don't know
if it's enough to call it a fetnyl emergency like
the Trump administration is to justify the tariffs. The Prime
Minister of Canada came out over the weekend and said
this is the biggest challenge we've ever had, or something
like that, this whole tariff situation with the United States,
so they're taking it seriously. Announcement on narrowing the tariffs recently,

(09:53):
we'll talk about that. Plus one thing I'm super hop
trot for. It's going to be a major feature at
during the show today. What have identified what have I
identified many times as the and this is a disgusting metaphor,
but the absolute epicenter of the infection in the American
body politic. Youw the woke infection where the bacteria is

(10:16):
just teeming and breeding and it's just it's going to
be impossible to clear the universities. There is major news
on the cleaning out of the Woke mind virus infection
in America's universities.

Speaker 2 (10:29):
We'll get to that letter. We got to start to
show officially. I don't want to forget that.

Speaker 3 (10:32):
I'm Jack Armstrong, He's Joe Getty on this It is Monday,
March twenty fourth, the year twenty twenty five.

Speaker 2 (10:37):
We are Armstrong and Getty and we approve of this program.

Speaker 4 (10:40):
All right, Well, it's a spring as we were saying,
and I'm wearing really tight white tennis shorts. So let's
leap carefully into action now. According to FCC rules and
regulations at Mark, the.

Speaker 2 (10:50):
President of the United States, Donald Trump.

Speaker 3 (10:53):
In attendance tonight at the Wells Bargo Center.

Speaker 5 (11:00):
Where was that?

Speaker 3 (11:05):
There's a wrestling championships in Charlotte?

Speaker 2 (11:08):
Is that where it was? Uh something like that?

Speaker 3 (11:11):
Yeah, regardless, that is quite the thunderous USA for uh
Trump walking.

Speaker 2 (11:16):
Into a building.

Speaker 4 (11:18):
Keeping in mind, as we continue to kick the media
because it's so much fun, there are I would I
would say the vast majority of the folks in the
eastern elite media do not know a single Trump voter.

Speaker 2 (11:29):
Oh no, no, no.

Speaker 4 (11:30):
They might not even know anybody who knows a single
Trump voter rather than like a cousin.

Speaker 2 (11:35):
Listen to that stadium full of people.

Speaker 3 (11:37):
Wow, and I've got some Mark Halpern's got a roundup
of poll numbers that are favorable right now for the
Trump administration that are quite shocking. If you take in
the world through the mainstream media, you would never believe
that these that this is where America is on this stuff.
So off to get to that, we got Katie's headlines
on the way. Hope you can say here text line
four one KFTC.

Speaker 2 (12:01):
How you was doing? How you's doing? That's good. I
feel like I'm back in Chicago.

Speaker 3 (12:10):
Uh got one get on spring break this week? I
got kids in two different schools. Their spring breaks don't
match up. That's a crime.

Speaker 2 (12:16):
M that's a crime. Yeah, it's a shame.

Speaker 4 (12:22):
Hey, So what's the guy to do? A lot of
good stuff to get to you today? Much to squeeze in.
So let's get going. It's time to check the lead
story with Katie Green. Katie who is reporting?

Speaker 3 (12:30):
What that is?

Speaker 2 (12:31):
Our question to you? Well, thank you guys.

Speaker 7 (12:33):
Starting with ABC US, Russia talks to resume in Saudi Arabia,
is Zelenski calls for pressure on Putin.

Speaker 3 (12:40):
Okay, so it's pretty a boosterish of the Trump White
House the first segment, so to be like sixty minutes
and try to balance things out. I was horrified at
whatever Trump's representative was saying on one of the talk
shows yesterday, on the Fox Sunday Show, just.

Speaker 2 (12:57):
An old man wit cough Yeah, oh my god.

Speaker 4 (13:01):
Yeah, I'm willing to wait and see whether this is all. Hey,
we're you're going soft on Putin, trying to get them
to the table, trying to get a broader game and
blah blah blah. But the repetition of Putin's talking points
by the Trump administrations and making me sick or out.
They're going somewhere smart Shannon Braema, Fox laying out, you
know all the horrible things Putin has done, and Trump's

(13:22):
guy saying look in my whole life.

Speaker 2 (13:24):
One thing I've learned, there's two sides to every story.
Oh give me a freaking Breaky from.

Speaker 7 (13:31):
CNN is real strikes has blood response to rocket fire
in most significant flare up of tensions since ceasefire.

Speaker 2 (13:40):
To go backwards just a second.

Speaker 3 (13:41):
For those of you who don't think we should be
in Ukraine, fine, you might be right.

Speaker 2 (13:45):
That's a perfectly legitimate argument, but you.

Speaker 3 (13:48):
Can't include Putin's not a bad guy. Say Putin is
an evil guy, he's an awful guy, shouldn't have done this,
but it's not in our interest to help Ukraine.

Speaker 2 (13:57):
That's a perfectly fine argument. But if you're gonna start
with you know, there's two sides to every story. I
don't think Putin's that bad a guy, then you're a liar.

Speaker 7 (14:06):
From The New York Times, Venezuelan immigrants will ask judge
to maintain their protections in the United States.

Speaker 4 (14:14):
Ah, this is that special visa program taking in zillions
of immigrants from Haiti and Venezuela because the American people
as a whole have been saying for ages, we don't
have enough Haitians and Venezuelan's running around Ugh.

Speaker 7 (14:29):
From Breitbart Usha Vance to visit Greenland as Trump talks
of acquiring island.

Speaker 2 (14:35):
So Ji Jadvtz's wife's going to Greenland.

Speaker 4 (14:38):
I'm gonna get into this controversy, Jackdee, Greenlanders. Greenlandians are
fired up and angry. They see this as an aggressive visit.
Stay tuned for Live Team Pow. Which side of this is?
Joe Getti on I can't wait to see?

Speaker 7 (14:53):
They will shock you from MSNBC. There's a lot of
energy on the ground. AOC and Sanders rally draws over
thirty thousand, the Oligarch.

Speaker 3 (15:05):
Tour, the no Oligarch's Tour featuring Metallica and Coldplay, the tour.
This is such good news. If you're a Republican have
all the energy being Bernie Sanders and AOC, good luck.

Speaker 2 (15:22):
Good luck with that. Nationally, It's funny.

Speaker 4 (15:25):
It's more a diagnosis than a you know a news
story all of the energy in your party is on
the young socialist end. Fine in mainstream America is looking
at that saying yeah, No, I'm hoping the party is misled.

Speaker 3 (15:42):
Bernie had the biggest crowd he's ever had, which is
saying something and I hope the party thinks, oh, well,
that's that's our base.

Speaker 2 (15:49):
Good.

Speaker 3 (15:49):
Yes, yes, pursue those tiny slice of America.

Speaker 7 (15:54):
From the Washington Post, Columbia University on track to regain
funding after policy changes.

Speaker 4 (16:01):
Wow, that is a very wappo headline, and it's accurate
as far as it goes. Columbia says, We're sorry, we've
been in America hating communist enclave will try to be
slightly better in return for federal money.

Speaker 2 (16:14):
More on that to come from Forbes.

Speaker 7 (16:18):
Company behind edible arrangements expands into edibles.

Speaker 2 (16:22):
Yes, the THHC kind.

Speaker 4 (16:26):
Oh so I've gone from like a fruit basket to
a Get high basket.

Speaker 2 (16:31):
Exactly, Get high baskets now for sale.

Speaker 4 (16:34):
Study with a cookie basket, Now you're talking.

Speaker 7 (16:38):
Study finds chewing on wood for five minutes may improve
your memory.

Speaker 2 (16:43):
Oh, I'm on it. Wait what it's called beaver diety?
And i picked this one because it's relatable from the
Babylon b. Google Maps now offering.

Speaker 7 (16:55):
New quote shortcut but you will.

Speaker 2 (16:57):
Fear for your life option. I like that, No kidding, Yeah,
we've all done that.

Speaker 3 (17:02):
Hey, Katie, send me that story about the chewing on
the wood. Yeah, that might be news you can use
for a Monday and everybody. Everybody will stop by home
depot on the way home from work, get a two
by four to no on all week long, sit there
watching a little march madness chewing on the two by four.

Speaker 2 (17:17):
Wow, that could be It's gonna wait to read it. Yeah,
news on the.

Speaker 6 (17:21):
Web, Armstrong and Geddy.

Speaker 1 (17:25):
President Trump calls for the impeachment of Judge Bowsburg, claiming
he's biased. The administration will be in court to try
and throw him off the case. As Republicans line up
behind Trump, Democrats attempt to fight back. Leading the charge
eighty three year old Bernie Sanders and Representative Alexandria Ocasio Cortes,

(17:46):
the pair drawing tens of thousands at rallies in Arizona
and Colorado.

Speaker 3 (17:52):
Was that related the Bernie rally to the immigration thing?
I'm trying to remember his track clip.

Speaker 4 (18:00):
We some nonsense about how it's unfair and racist.

Speaker 2 (18:04):
Or I didn't hear it.

Speaker 3 (18:05):
I didn't hear them say anything about that issue. So
I don't know why those two things were put together anyway.
The if you're watching the Sunday shows yesterday, and God
help you if you did, don't, geez, good Lord.

Speaker 2 (18:15):
Reassess your life's priorities.

Speaker 3 (18:18):
Right. Do you know how many days you get on
planet Earth before you're dead and you're going to spend
any of them watching Meet the Press or Face the Nation?

Speaker 2 (18:25):
AnyWho?

Speaker 3 (18:26):
Those shows were dominated by the whole flying Venezuelans after
a court rules is it a constitutional crisis? They that
that was the number one story by you know that
kind of media, So I don't I don't know how
big a deal that actually is, but that's what dominated
those shows.

Speaker 4 (18:44):
I honestly can't even imagine that there's a great deal
of outrage among Americans.

Speaker 2 (18:50):
Well, we can make.

Speaker 3 (18:51):
Up pulling a little later on that America's pretty happy
with as a whole, with the way the Trump administration's
handling illegal immigration.

Speaker 4 (18:58):
Well, you can get to it now if you like.
It's fine with me. But here's the response in clip
fifty one, This is Fox and fiends.

Speaker 5 (19:05):
But Trump administration is defiant. They say they have the
authority to deport migrants whom they say are national security threats.
They are expected to double down on that argument today.

Speaker 4 (19:16):
This comes as the.

Speaker 5 (19:17):
Administration standoff with federal judgings. Boseburg escalates. Boseburg calls the
president's expanded use of the Alien Enemies Act problematic, and
he's also promising to find out whether the administration flouted
his order to turn deportation flights to El Salvador back around.

Speaker 3 (19:33):
Well, I can tell you how every conversation went on
the talk shows yesterday since thank god you didn't watch them.
It was a whole bunch of speculation about using the
term constitutional crisis, which it would be if a president
ignores the court, a federal court, that's a constitution crisis.
Because what's the next step there, how do you start
dealing We haven't really had that situation, and there's not

(19:55):
really a mechanism, an easy mechanism for fixing it. But
they would do the long story with all the hypotheticals
and what this would mean in the history of blah
blah blah, and at the end they'd say, it's worth
noting that both President Trump and mister Holman have said
they would not defy a court order and other news.

Speaker 2 (20:14):
Okay, well, they just said they're not going to do that.
They wouldn't do that, Okay.

Speaker 4 (20:22):
A lot like the Democratic Party, which is holding those
exciting rallies with AOC and Bernie. The Democratic media is
desperate for clicks now, and so they're trying to fire
up the resistance because that was so much fun back
in twenty twenty. Did do you think, sorry, twenty seventeen,
do you think they set the planes after the court ruled? No, No,

(20:42):
I was about to get into that, not to pick
it apart, but just hit the parts that I think
people really need to note to understand what's going on.

Speaker 2 (20:50):
And as long as we're here, let's go ahead and
do that.

Speaker 4 (20:52):
And then some more from tough talking Tom Holman in
just a moment or two.

Speaker 2 (20:56):
But so, the judge.

Speaker 4 (21:01):
Ordered the administration to suspend the deportation of the alleged
gang members and recall any flights that had already departed.
And the story's a little hard to follow, but the
administration said it didn't recall the flights because the judge
did not include that demand in his written order. He
said something about it in court, but then the written
order came out and didn't say that. The government also
contends that the flights were already in international airspace by

(21:23):
the time the order was issued, and the timing matters
for the following reason.

Speaker 2 (21:27):
It means the judges command not to.

Speaker 4 (21:29):
Remove aliens from the US came too late. You can't
remove them if they're already gone. On Thursday, the judge Boseburg,
who played a pretty big role in the FISA court
what was the name page the Trump aid, the whole
Russiagate thing. He was part of reapproving the FISA authority,

(21:53):
blah blah blah.

Speaker 2 (21:54):
Very sympathetic to the FBI anyway.

Speaker 4 (21:56):
But Boseberg conceded the point in in reality because he
ordered the government to explain its failure to return class
members removed from the United States. So but his order
hadn't said anything about returning them. It just said you
can't remove any more. So that's you know that We're
gonna let the lawyers argue about that forever. But here's

(22:20):
the important part. The administration was resting on its reading
of the Alien Enemies Act. The famous seventeen ninety eight
law that you're seeing a lot of folks in the
lefty media say he's relying on a law from seventeen
ninety eight. Come on, and that's as gun constitutional. Wait

(22:43):
a second, you're relying on the Constitution from seventeen eighty nine. Yeah,
so if stuff from the eighteenth century is no good,
then what are you talking about? Your phonies? Anyway, But
here's how the law reads. Because there are a lot
of folks.

Speaker 2 (22:58):
Who are.

Speaker 4 (23:00):
Who are saying, you know, we're not at war, that's
about when we're at war, and they're not entirely right.
You know, I'll tell you this. I'll put the disclaimer first.
I am really uncomfortable with anything that jumps past due process.

Speaker 2 (23:20):
Sure, even when it.

Speaker 4 (23:22):
Comes to Venezuelan immigrants who may or may not be
gang members. If the government can do things and you
and and someday it will be you don't get your
day in court because they can just do stuff without
proving their case. We don't want that because someday, you know,
Malia Obama is going to be president and AOC's daughter

(23:46):
is going to be the vice president, and they'll have
all sorts of crazy stuff they want to do. But
thank god for you know, due process. Anyway, Having said that,
here's the way they actually reads.

Speaker 3 (23:56):
Yes, you throw out fanciful names, and this is a
real Don't you think Oprah Winfrey would win in a
landslide if she just announced, like in a couple of
years as a Democrat.

Speaker 2 (24:09):
Probably No. No, I don't think so. I'm not saying
there's no way. I just don't think so.

Speaker 8 (24:15):
No.

Speaker 4 (24:15):
I think a smart, effective like Ron DeSantis or JD.
Van's campaign could expose her.

Speaker 2 (24:23):
For what she is. Gosh, he would do well.

Speaker 3 (24:26):
But I think you'd have twenty million people who've never
voted in their lives show up for one thing voting for.

Speaker 4 (24:33):
If Tom Hanks was her VP, that would be formidable.
Just saying anyway, are we done here?

Speaker 2 (24:39):
Yes?

Speaker 4 (24:39):
So here's the actual reading of the law, the Alien
Enemies Act, which is hard to say. The law reads quote,
whether there is a declared war between the United States and.

Speaker 2 (24:50):
Any foreign nation or government.

Speaker 4 (24:52):
You see, Margaret Brennan says, if there is a declared war, oh.

Speaker 2 (24:57):
You witch anyway, but let me Rea not Oh my god.

Speaker 4 (25:01):
Whenever there's a declared war between the United States and
any foreign nation or government, or any invasion or predatory
incursion is perpetrated, attempted, or threatened against the territory of
the United States by any foreign nation or government.

Speaker 2 (25:17):
All citizens, natives, denizens, or.

Speaker 4 (25:20):
Subjects of the hostile nation or government who shall be
within the United States and not actually naturalized, shall be
liable to be apprehended, restrained, secured, and removed as alien enemies.
There is no declared war, even an undeclared one, But
the law says that an invasion or predatory incursion is sufficient,
and that is just vague enough to make me think, eh,

(25:43):
this is an incursion. Certainly, the Venezuelan government knows who's
getting out. Who these people are. They're communists, they're an adversary.
A lot of these people are allegedly gang members, And
you know, I think there ought to be some standard proof, honestly.
But yeah, so I don't think anybody who claims that
it is on its face undoable what they're doing is

(26:05):
just wrong.

Speaker 2 (26:07):
Now, the particulars.

Speaker 4 (26:08):
Are worthy of the courts taking a look at, and
not just one district court judge who's some sort of
lefty wackadoodle. That's why we have the appeals process. But yeah,
this is a Wobbler. It'll be interesting to see how
it plays out.

Speaker 3 (26:22):
Well on just the politics of it, only the politics
of it. I think the majority of Americans are thinking, good,
kick out Venezuelan gang members and anybody who shouldn't be
here leah Ille who isn't legally entitled to be here.

Speaker 2 (26:39):
That's where the politics of it is.

Speaker 4 (26:41):
Sure, Sure, some quibblers, and this is a legitimate quibbler saying, look,
these people don't have criminal records, how do you know
they're gang members? Tom Holman answers that and clip number
fifty four, Michael.

Speaker 8 (26:51):
Most tairs we arrest are identified yeos camera are later
identified through a Title three investigation or through an undercover operation.
They're not in any terrors screen and basket with in
screening database. We know that many gamers don't have a
criminal history. So we have a kind of social media
who has count of surveillance techniques, who had to count
on Swarren statements from other gang member if we had
to count on you know, wire taps and Title three,

(27:14):
everything involved with the criminal investigations come into play.

Speaker 4 (27:18):
And there's absolutely nothing in the seventeen ninety eight Act,
the Alien Enemies Act that says you have to prove it,
or the alien incursion, the hostile incursion has to have
a criminal record or anything like that.

Speaker 2 (27:30):
It's vague enough.

Speaker 4 (27:31):
One more thought, just because I found this very interesting,
then we'll take a break. Clip fifty five please Michael
Holman again.

Speaker 8 (27:36):
Yeah, two point two million guidaways under Joe Biden. Two
point two million people paid more to get away. They
could have paid less money. Just get to the boarder,
turn themself solo the board of tralagent. Get released when
twenty four hours, get a free airline ticket to the
city of their choice, get a free hotel room, get
three meals a day, get free medical care, and get
work authorization in ninety days. So why did more than

(27:57):
two million people pay more to get away? The didn't
want to be better than might be fingerprinted talking.

Speaker 4 (28:02):
About paying more to the cartels to sneak him into
the country. That is a really intriguing question. Well, let
me just read you a little bit of this poll
stuff we'll hit later. This is from Bill mcinturf. He's
the pollster for NBC Wall Street Journal. He's a Republican pollster,
but he's the guy they use over there at NBC
he wrote, just overall, we are continuing to see once

(28:23):
in a generation type of findings. In the less than
twenty slides we'll have here, and then he goes through
his slides. We'll cover the following major storylines, and I'll
just shaar the first one. He said, you don't see
this every day, the surge in right direction. This is
the first time right direction is over forty percent.

Speaker 3 (28:43):
You know, it's just a classic question of Rowihan going
a right direction or wrong direction as a country. The
right direction is over forty percent for the first time
in one hundred and forty seven months.

Speaker 2 (28:54):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (28:55):
And a historic drop in the ratings of the Democratic
Party the right direction as a heist it's been in
a very long time, and the Democratic Party at the lowest.
I mean, like he said, this is these are historic numbers.

Speaker 2 (29:08):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (29:08):
Anything else is quibbling. Honestly, that's that's huge. Yeah, it is,
So have more on that later. We've got a mail
bag on the way. There's a lot to talk about today.

Speaker 2 (29:16):
I hope you can stick around.

Speaker 3 (29:21):
I can't. I can't even bring myself hardly to talk
about this. But Elon called social security a Ponzi scheme.
Democrats have jumped all over that, and that is like
really whipping people up in theory.

Speaker 2 (29:40):
Oh my god, they're gonna take away my social security.

Speaker 3 (29:42):
I just we can't function as a society if we're
gonna be this stupid.

Speaker 2 (29:47):
We just can't. We just gotta pack. I just gotta
give up. That's it. I just got to realize.

Speaker 3 (29:51):
Nah, you know, I'm probably gonna live twenty five more years.
You know, the country might hang around that long. Good
luck to my kids.

Speaker 4 (29:59):
I might just have to get up Wow wow, Okay,
all right, Or just like cynical political pros have done,
you accept the stupidity of it and work within those boundaries.
It's a little disappointing though, if you grew up thinking
you know, it's all about ideas and policy and that
sort of thing. No, it's about frightening people over fantasies
that somebody is going to eliminate social security or ignoring reality.

(30:21):
Well right, yeah, yeah, the other side of the same
evil coin.

Speaker 2 (30:25):
Here's your freedom loving quote of the day. I love
this one, sent along by Amy. Guys.

Speaker 4 (30:33):
Here's a quote I came across while reading book that
struck me as incredibly true. Yet something we like to
ignore how is it that elites in education, especially in
Ivy League universities, are so accommodating of leftist and Islamic
dogma and calls for violence. And it's a quote from
a fellow by the name of Alexander Kratt Shock, And
it's a description of an obscure happening. Well, it was

(30:55):
important at the day in the Roman Republic where a
leading light was seduced into serving.

Speaker 2 (31:03):
An evil, you know, evil doer. Here's the quote.

Speaker 4 (31:06):
Intellectuals are not immune to corruption and intimidation. On the contrary,
they can be too soft and are often flattered by
the opportunity to cooperate with the representatives of brute force,
even if they silently despise their raw and untutored minds.

Speaker 3 (31:21):
You know.

Speaker 4 (31:21):
That reminds me of what Thomas Sowell said about there
some ideas so stupid only an intellectual could have them.
The problem with intellectuals, and we're gonna be talking about
the universities I think next hour, is that there's.

Speaker 2 (31:32):
So much pretension in academia.

Speaker 4 (31:36):
If you flatter their pretensions, you can get them to
think about anything, especially like the the raw minds of
you know, undergrads and grad students who are so easily indoctrinated.

Speaker 2 (31:49):
You try to.

Speaker 4 (31:51):
Talk a steel worker, a welder, you know, into some
really wackydoodle out there intellectual concept except for house Society
ought to be run.

Speaker 2 (32:02):
They would say, what's the matter with you?

Speaker 4 (32:03):
You try to do the same thing to a PhD.

Speaker 2 (32:08):
Good chance you get them.

Speaker 4 (32:09):
Mailbag, whoa drop us a note? Mail bag at armstrung
and giddy dot com. He's the email address. Al from
the Treasure Valley in Idaho says some very nice things
about the show.

Speaker 2 (32:21):
Have been listening for a very long time, and says
this show.

Speaker 4 (32:25):
I wish one of the local radio stations in Boise
would pick your show up.

Speaker 2 (32:29):
Yet we do too. It's inexcusable.

Speaker 4 (32:31):
We're not on in Boise. I even know how to
pronounce it. There's no Z in Boise. See anyway, thanks
for the note, sir.

Speaker 3 (32:39):
Joe showed up the Boise one time, announced it on
the air even though we are not on in Boise,
and you.

Speaker 2 (32:46):
Packed a bar well kind of yeah, that's amazing. Yeah,
we should be on the air there. It's great fun.

Speaker 4 (32:53):
Shout out to everybody an Eagle and Boise and then
every everywhere around there.

Speaker 2 (32:57):
Love it love that part of the country, Jane, the
beautiful San Jose, California.

Speaker 4 (33:01):
You said, guys, I read an article about nurses protesting
the advent of AI to give advice and diagnosis and
administrative work in the medical field. You got you long
shorm and resisting technology updates is the next big social
issue workers v AI. Bill Boyd Bates recently said he
thought a major debate about in the next five to
ten years will be whether or not people need to

(33:22):
work forty hours a week at all, because AI will
do so many jobs faster and better than humans can.

Speaker 2 (33:27):
I I would love to get into that. Maybe we
bring that back up again later.

Speaker 3 (33:31):
Hm.

Speaker 4 (33:32):
That's going to be probably an enormous change in society.

Speaker 2 (33:37):
Let's see.

Speaker 4 (33:38):
I want to get to this from John who says
I'm ready for World War three. Maybe next hour. I
like this, Jashan. Last week, you guys brought up the
idea that since COVID people are more rude. This is
one hundred percent true. This has been a huge issue
in healthcare. It's the main reason people never come back
to their jobs after COVID patients have become unbelievably rude
and bitchy about everything. It's made so many in healthcare

(34:00):
just stop giving a crap about patient care.

Speaker 2 (34:02):
It's not good.

Speaker 4 (34:04):
Non. The different topic on the topic of kids can't
read very good, I think that's ironic.

Speaker 2 (34:11):
I just listened to a podcast about this.

Speaker 4 (34:13):
It's a few years old, but explains how school stopped
teaching phonics and started using some weird method of teaching
kids how to read some pliz my kids who are.

Speaker 3 (34:22):
In school for this site words. It's dumb, but it
was all the rage.

Speaker 2 (34:26):
Yeah, Jshan, you've been listening long enough.

Speaker 4 (34:28):
I've been ranting about this forever, speaking of you know,
the freedom loving quote and intellectuals and PhDs and what
we were talking about. You can't justify your lofty salary
as a superintendent or a principle or a consultant in
education unless you bring change and innovation. Otherwise you're just

(34:49):
doing what has always worked and what always will work.
And we probably don't need a PhD for that, do we?
And so you in that position.

Speaker 2 (34:58):
Insist on Oh no, no, phonics is old and stupid
and ineffective. Here's a new thing, site words, and.

Speaker 4 (35:06):
We don't teach the kids how to actually sound out
words or anything like that anymore.

Speaker 2 (35:10):
Look how new and innovative I am.

Speaker 4 (35:12):
And because education is so full of trends and fads,
it's like how eighteen year old girls dress. They went
for it and threw away what worked beautifully. Back to
phonics folks everywhere.
